We install all major driveway surfaces across Norwich. Below are typical installed costs for 2026 written fixed-price quotes are provided after a site visit.
Resin Bound Driveways Norwich
Resin bound is the most-searched driveway type in Norwich two hundred searches a month locally. It looks clean and contemporary, handles Norwich's freeze-thaw winters without surface cracking when properly installed, and is permeable so it does not require planning permission.
The question that separates a good installation from a failing one is what is underneath the resin. KiKK installs resin bound on a hot-rolled asphalt base. This adds cost compared to resin direct-to-sub-base. It also means the surface performs correctly in year eight the same as it did in year one. On Norwich's clay-influenced ground, a resin surface without a proper tarmac base will crack within a few years as the sub-base flexes.
Typical installed costs (excavation, MOT Type 1, tarmac base and resin):
- Up to 30m²: £2,700 to £4,800
- 30 to 60m²: £4,800 to £8,500
- 60m² and above: £8,500 to £15,000
Tarmac Driveways Norwich
Tarmac remains the most durable driveway surface in Norwich for the cost. A properly laid tarmac driveway handles Norwich winters, handles heavy vehicles, and with correct installation on compacted MOT Type 1 will perform for 20 to 25 years without significant maintenance.
KiKK regularly combines tarmac with block paving edging and borders particularly in Hellesdon and Costessey which improves the appearance significantly without the full cost of a resin or block surface.
Typical installed costs:
- Up to 30m²: £1,300 to £2,700
- 30 to 60m²: £2,700 to £4,800
- 60m² and above: £4,800 to £8,500
Block Paving Norwich
Block paving done properly holds its level, handles frost, and looks significantly better at fifteen years than at five. The standard failure mode: insufficient sub-base depth, sharp sand bed too thick, no edge restraint installed correctly. The blocks start moving within a year. The joints open. Weeds establish. The whole thing needs lifting and relaying which costs more than the original job would have cost if the preparation had been correct.
KiKK installs block paving on compacted MOT Type 1 to the correct depth for Norwich's ground conditions. Edge restraints are mechanically fixed, not just bedded. Brickweave, herringbone, and basket weave patterns all available depending on preference and property style.
Typical installed costs:
- Up to 30m²: £2,200 to £4,200
- 30 to 60m²: £4,200 to £7,500
- 60m² and above: £7,500 to £13,000
Porcelain Driveways and Paving Norwich
Porcelain has moved from garden patio material to driveway surface in Norwich over the last four years. It holds its colour and surface finish far longer than natural stone or concrete, does not stain, and does not need sealing.
For driveways, porcelain requires a rigid base either a concrete bed or a mortar bed on a concrete slab rather than the flexible sub-base used for tarmac or block paving. Porcelain is also available as a patio surface KiKK installs combined driveway and patio projects in porcelain across Norwich as a single job.
Typical installed costs:
- Up to 30m²: £3,500 to £6,000
- 30 to 60m²: £6,000 to £11,000
- 60m² and above: £11,000 and above
Gravel, Tar and Chip, and Concrete Norwich
Gravel is the most affordable driveway option in Norwich and fully permeable. It requires periodic maintenance raking, topping up, edge containment. Typical cost £30 to £55 per m² installed.
Tar and chip tarmac base with aggregate rolled into the surface gives a more textured finish than smooth tarmac at a lower cost than resin. Popular on properties in Norwich's outer suburbs. Typical cost £50 to £75 per m² installed.
Concrete suits Norwich properties where longevity and low maintenance is the priority. Reinforced concrete on a correct sub-base will outlast every other surface. Typical cost £60 to £100 per m² installed depending on thickness and reinforcement.
